One very interesting thing the principal mentioned this morning was that she had been approved to hire a resource teacher for next year to help kids who were advanced learners (they already have help for those who are behind). She noted that she has some cases of advanced kids being allowed to attend some blocks with upper grades (she gave an example of a PK kid going to reading block in the first grade). It certainly gave the impression she is thinking about how to make sure better prepared kids are not bored.

| to 16:57, wow, a resource aide for advanced kids, I've never heard of this in DCPS! sounds fabulous and like the principal understands both student needs and DCPS budget maniputlations. |

I'm not familiar enough with DCPS to know if this is that unique, but I was glad to hear it. It made me feel like she was really thinking about the needs of all the kids at the school (and it is clear that the principal really cares about all the kids in the school). |
